4．On an ordinary weekday evening，Jane was at home as usual．As she was considering what she was going to do with her dinner plans for the evening，she was unexpectedly interrupted by an urgent call from her sister"get over here!"
A few hours later，Jane found herself with 8 strangers in the middle of the boiling desert heat of Utah（犹他州），picking up rubbish and raising awareness about zero．waste and climate change．
Armed with a deep love of the environment and a desire to make a difference，Jane，Davey，and a group of self described"environmental pick-up artists''went on a coast to coast road side rubbish pick-up．As they walked，sometimes only covering 0.9 miles in an entire day，they slowly and steadily made their way across the United States，picking up a total of 201，678 pounds of rubbish．In the end，three years and 3，672 miles later，they dipped their feet in the cold waters of the Pacific．
The road is windy，often up-hill．With a rubbish bag as your companion，how does one remind themselves that picking up that tiny gum wrapper on the ground makes a difference？Where do you find the strength to keep going？As I asked Jane and Davey to answer these questions，they shared remarkable stories of caring environment that gave them the efforts to continue their journey．
A small group of us were lucky enough to spend two hours last Wednesday evening listening to the remarkable stories of Jane and Davey．As they shared their deep concern for the environment，we together experienced their real spirit．Jane and Davey，like so many unknown heroes in our community，might not ever draw much attention like multi-million dollar funded projects．In many ways，it is exactly that which makes their story so attractive．

8．My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras，Puerto Rico．My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields．I would walk behind an ox，guiding him with a broomstick．For 1 a day，I worked eight hours straight，with no food breaks．
  It was very tedious work，but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons．Because the plantation owners were always watching us，I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could．I've never been late for any job since．I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for．More importantly，I earned my pay，it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn't want to work．
  I was only six years old，but I was doing a man's job．Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $18 a week．Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet．Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother，father，two brothers and three sisters．This gave me self-esteem（自尊心），one of the most important things a person could have．
When I was seven，I got work at a golf course near our house．My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed，so the golfers could find them．Losing a ball meant you were fired，so I never missed one．Some nights I would lie in bed and dream of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle．
The more I dreamed，the more I thought．Why not？I made my first golf club out of guava limb （番石榴树枝） and a piece of pipe．Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball．And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth．I practiced with the same devotion and intensity．I learned working in the field---except now I was driving golf balls with club，not oxen with a broomstick．

26．The writer's first job wasC．
A．to stand down the fairway at the golf course
B．to watch over the sugar-cane plantation
C．to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields
D．to spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them

29．C gave the writer self-esteem．
A．Having a family of eight people

18．The fact that she knows when to study and when to play ______a lot about the secret of her success．（　　）

5．Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do-especially in tight job market．
Bob Crossley，a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day．"It's amazing how many candidates eliminate （淘汰） themselves，"he says．"Resumes （简历） arrive with faults．Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly．Once I see a mistake，I refuse the candidates，"Crossley concludes，"If they cannot take care of these details，why should we trust them with a job？"
Can we pay too much attention to details？Absolutely not．
Perfectionists（完美主义者） struggle over little things instead of something larger they work toward．"To keep from losing the forest for the trees，"says Charles Garfield，the professor at the University of California，San Francisco，"We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working will influence the larger picture．If they don't，we should drop them and move to something else．"
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA．"The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90percent of the time，"says Garfield．"But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal．This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary．"Knowing where to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake．
Again and again，we see that by doing little things within our grasp well，large rewards follow．
67．According to the passage，some job applicants were refused because they areB．
A．too limitedly educated to write a perfect resume
B．so careless that they make some spelling mistakes in their resume

B．lose their jobs by paying too much attention to details

D．pay attention to details more than their major goals

70．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？A

I：Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point （次要点）C：Conclusion．
17．A Myth
It is true that world population is growing，but this is not the cause of our current and future global problems．Believing this will cause us to ignore the real problem and risk long-term damage to our planet．
Let me start by explaining why overpopulation is a myth．For one thing，the UN Population Division regularly predicts population growth but provides a low variant  （变量），medium variant，and high variant to factor in various possibilities．In the 2010revision，their high variant suggests that the world population will be almost 16billion in 2100，but the low variant predicts it will peak at 8billion and decrease to just over 6billion by 2100．In most cases，it is the low variant that has come true in the past，suggesting the same will be true of their future population predictions．In addition to this，the size of families is actually decreasing．
For another，if the Earth is overpopulated，there needs to be insufficient （短缺） food，water，and space for humans to live．However，Indian economist Raj Krishna estimates that India alone is able to increase crop produce to the point of providing the entire world's food supply．The World Food Programme confirms that there is sufficient food grown to feed the world and there is the same amount of fresh water on the planet now as there was 10，000years ago．So how is it possible that the number of people in the world is affecting our planet？
Therefore，it is not an increase in population but an increase in consumption that is a severe threat．Materialism and overconsumption are facts of life for everybody in the western world，as possessions reflect a person's status in society and people strive to obtain happiness through owning the latest fashionable goods．Not only that，but waste is a common occurrence which has a huge effect on our resources．It is a sad truth that 80% of the world's resources are currently used by just 20% of the world's population．
Our overconsumption must be addressed now to make our lives more sustainable （可持续的） and avoid continuing the terrible damage to the environment we are causing．The key is education．If we do not work towards this but instead focus on the wrong issue，we may find ourselves living on a planet that can no longer sustain human life．
67．According to the author，what causes our current and future global problems？C
A．The increase in population．
B．Shortage of food and water．
C．The fast growth of material needs．
D．Failure to protect the environment．
68．The underlined word"myth"in Paragraph 2is closest in meaning toB．
A．fact B．misconceptionC．possibilityD．uncertainty
69．The author stresses thatC．
A．people should save food and water
B．economists are making wrong predictions
C．wrong judgment leads to serious consequences
D．measures should be taken to reduce population
70．What is mainly discussed in the passage？A
A．The real cause of global problems．
B．The severe effect of overpopulation．
C．Reasonable use of natural resources．
D．Methods to reduce overconsumption．
